[Numpy-discussion] 64 bit Windows installers for NumPy?

[Ilan Schnell]

But if you have an Intel license, you are allows to
redistribute the MKL runtime.  This is the reason why
Enthought can distribute EPD which includes numpy,
scipy and numexpr linked against MKL.  The next EPD
7.0, will include Python 2.7.1 and numpy 1.5.1 and
be released on February 8.
